Motet notes - Schein

Schein: Siehe, nach Trost war mir sehr bange

Schein’s Motet Siehe, nach Trost war mir sehr bange is based on King Hezekiah’s offering of thanks for the answering of his prayer to be saved from death. Replacing a warning of impending death, God has granted him an additional fifteen years, according to Isaiah 38.
